"My mother
always talked to me a lot about the sky. She liked to watch the clouds
in the day, and the stars at night. Especially the stars. We would play a
game sometimes. A game called "What's beyond the sky?"

We would imagine
darkness, or a blinding light--or something else that we didn't know how to
name. But, of
course, that was just a game. There is nothing beyond the sky.
The sky just is--and it goes on and on, and we play all of our games beneath
it."

A "Terrestrial" is defined as someone who currently is contained within
the density of "Terra/Earth," with all limitations, rules, and
attributes that condition implies. When we speak of "contained,"
we are referring to something or someone who is perceiving (or who is being
perceived) from this frame-of-reference. To be seen by an
"Earthling," therefore, is the same as becoming an Earthling.
That is because there isn't just one Earth. There are
many.

An
"Extraterrestrial" is defined as something that remains outside
the scope of our perception. We have never seen one before, nor
have they really
seen us (in the sense that we see things). "Extra" means
"outside." If an Extraterrestrial is ever truly perceived by
a human, it is no longer an Extraterrestrial, is it? It will
immediately become a hybridization of human awareness---a shadow of personal
realization. This is why "experiencers"
most often describe their encounters with ETs as being
"dream-like." Dreams are the
place where humans mix and blend familiar and unfamiliar energies.
It's a "free zone" for the
mind.

This is what happened with the Zetas--who
"crashed" at Roswell, in 1947. Once they entered our
perceptual "field,"they became what WE
wanted them to be. They "fell" into our grasp, and were clay for the potter. From there on, our imaginations went wild.
This was all by mutual contract, of course. A RECONNECTION,
to be sure. Very similar to some of the RECONNECTIONS
that are yet to come!

Humanity is quite accustomed to integrating
"new" and fantastic intelligence and substance. For
centuries, we have been busy concocting images of Ultraterrestrials
(faeries, devas, and elementals). We take the images of what we know,
and we wrap them around the energies we don't know, or have forgotten.
This is the core process of all creation. Perception is creation,
not the other way around. Everything already exists. But not for
us, until we choose to let it in. Once we do, it becomes
us---even though we choose to imagine that it is still separate.
We are
what we see, and vice versa.

Have you noticed the similarities that exist
between the appearance of pixies, faeries, and gnomes---and the various races of
"known" Extraterrestrials? Those images all come from the
same source--the human mind. They are an amalgamation of our fears,
our hopes, our points of fascination (usually with animal, insect, vegetable, or
mineral realms), inspired by Extraterrestrial TONES,
and then congealed into our impression of what WE
would look like if we took on some of those (primal or sublime)
aspects.

The
concept of "landing" on Terra would be as unnerving for ETs as it
would be for
us. This is because, in order to land here, they must alter their
essence. They must transform. They also must submit to our
re-interpretation of them, based on our own perceptual bias. This is
the same type of "concession" that is made by any author, when his
or her book goes public. Once the manuscript leaves an author's hands, its
content is "up for grabs" by every viewpoint with which it comes
in contact. The same is true of perceived images. In this
regard, the Mayans are quite right about being photographed. It does
"steal" a part of your soul. Or, shall we say, it allows you
to INVEST a part of yourself into a new
"family," where all can expand, and learn more about the infinite
diversity of All That Is.

The movie and literary renditions of ETs are "Dreams of the Mass
Mind." They are a collation of our hopes, fears, and
anticipations---activated by our current infusions of "new"
energy. We call them "Extra" Terrestrials because we don't
want to integrate the Oneself too quickly. It would short-circuit our
individual "game" of 3D, which is built on separation. The planet
divisions and barriers are as arbitrary as the barriers we now place between
nations and cities. That will all change in its own good time.
We are ALL ONE,
and we are slowly beginning to figure that out.

Beyond 3D, there is little need for such things as "national
or planetary boundaries." The whole "Federation of Planets"
idea,
that has run through the movies and many religious systems, is a reality
construct that has been developed by us, to make us more
comfortable with the fact that we are TAKING ON FOREIGN
ELEMENTS.
So.......as quickly as possible.......we go about the task of re-making
those elements in our own image. It is the way of things. We
imagine that other planets are like Terra---that they have
"counsels" and "armies" and "Ship
Commanders." And so, we formulate a "story plot" that
imagines what such a mixture would be like. It's great fun, and very
valid and real. However, behind all of the variable "stories" and
established "evidence," there is still much, much more to be
revealed.

You might say that the "races"
of Extraterrestrials who have been perceived by or who have "contacted"
humankind to date represent a compilation of aspects that portray all of the
"NEW" OR OUTLANDISH ENERGIES
that humanity is ready to integrate, mixed together with all of the images
or concrete portrayals of their (formless) energy that Extraterrestrials are
prepared to offer at this time. And the story goes on. And more
will still be revealed. The question is: Are we willing to
lay aside what we think we "know" about ETs, in order to move to
the next level?

Because of our love and our interest, we volunteer to become the cauldrons
